I agree totally with what Jim said.

The "Bullet For Mark" theme you mention is called "5x5x5" from Nelson's same-year album 3-2-1-0 with Nobuo Hara and the Sharps and Flats. The session for "5x5x5" was in September and the Ironside episode aired in October, so your guess is as good as mine whether the theme was composed for the album or the show. The album version has a brilliant B section as well, check it out on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/3-2-1-0-Oliver-Nelson-Sharps-Flats/dp/B003U8QINW/
There are a number of Ironside themes that crept into Nelson's later albums: "The Lonely Way to Go" lurks within Swiss Suite, "New Game" on Soulful Brass 2 originated from "The Sacrifice," (a theme developed in "Murder, Impromtu") and both "Class of '57" and "The Machismo Bag" form the basis of "El Gato" with Gato Barbieri ("The Machismo Bag" would later resurface as the theme to the posthumous episode of The Six Million Dollar Man: "Clark Templeton O'Flaherty")
Six Million Dollar Man episodes would revive a number of Ironsides, for example: "Survival of the Fittest" ("Return to Fiji") "The Price of Liberty" (the chase features an ostinato from "Dead Man's Tale"). The list goes on.

I've been trying to complete the composer credits for the series "Chase" but couldn't find any episodes, until today where I fianlly found two up on youtube. They are mislabled -- the one labled "Pilot" is actually epsiode 12 and the other is episode 11. Both are scored by Nelson:

I'm a little disappointed. While I'd like to hear some of it apart from the SFX, it seems he only had one mode -- beat you over the fucking head with the music.

Hi (Member),
All I can say is, it's about bleedin' time! I've been banging on about how great (and how totally Oliver Nelson) LAST TANGO is ever since it came out on Varese and/ or Ryko. I remember a post in which I asked you, "Do you have LAST TANGO IN PARIS?", to which you very curtly replied "No". As if you had something against the idea. Perhaps it's "Paris" that initially put you off. Have you ever been there?
I have. But back then, I was not enthusiastic because the film didn't interest me.
But the samples highlights the genuine Nelson sound.
Sorry about the poor Paris joke, Thomas. I actually know you've "been" there.
It's true, there are parts in the clips available which sound like they could be out of ZIGZAG or THE 6 BUCK MAN. Listen to the way the piano and percussion come in towards the end of the clip from Track 7, or the way Track 36 starts - pure Oliver Nelson.
Now listen up you nutmegs. Buy ZIGZAG if you haven't already done so. And if you don't like it, well, I'm sorry, but you are wrong and have no taste. And no ears. Just nutmegs.
Here's a track I always liked, from the LP. I think that's Artie Kane on piano, and I just love what he does from 1:42 on. Some of the phrasing reminds me of the playing on some John Williams scores of the period. I wonder if Artie is the common denominator there.

Is Graham addressing the attendees @ a comic convention? 
FYI, I bought this CD when it was a new release - so I have as much great taste in music as you do!

Ah, but Zardoz, "buying" is one thing, "liking" is another. Don't disappoint me by answering in the negative please. It does confound me so when my opinions aren't shared by everyone else.
Here's more background, Graham.
Long ago, I had ZIGZAG on MGM LP.
When FSM released this album, I bought it because I like ZIGZAG & because of the Fielding portion, too. Plus, I got to upgrade ZIGZAG from LP to CD and sell-off the MGM LP.
So - yeah- I like ZIGZAG, but it's never been a personal favorite.
Does my opinion count as being shared now?
